Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/3 cup berries of choice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1-2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
Instructions
- Blend the base ingredients: Add the cottage cheese, almond milk, berries, vanilla extract, and maple syrup to a blender. Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy.
- Add chia seeds: Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl or jar and stir in the chia seeds until well combined.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding.
- Serve: Stir the pudding well before serving. Top with extra berries, yogurt, or graham cracker crumbs for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup.
- Use any berries you prefer such as blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries.
- For a vegan version, substitute cottage cheese with a plant-based yogurt.
- Make sure to stir well before refrigeration so the chia seeds don’t clump.
- Chia pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
